Sun burnt plants

I made this mistake with my seedlings a couple of weeks ago, and it totally slipped my mind with my figs/citrus. Because my plants came out of dormancy inside over the course of weeks they were super vulnerable to the sun. I guess I thought 60’s and 70’s wasn’t that bad. Will these trees recover from this? Do they need special care? I went through with a water soluble fertilizer to help them out. Not all look as bad as this one, but here is a picture of one of the worst ones.


Other than fertilize, I moved vulnerable plants closer to the house where there is less sun exposure.

They will very likely recover but will need some attention and care. Salt stress might not be the best thing to do with the stress they’re enduring now, filtered sun for limited amount of time is the way to go until they get acclimated.
